Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Commentary on the Psalms I have been induced to write this little Commentary in consequence of our Holy Father´s recent legislation on the Breviary. Heretofore, the Offices of the Saints enjoyed such a practical monopoly, that many of us bean to regard the psalms in the Commune Sanctorum as our stock-in-trade. And so rarely were we brought into contact with the others that we quickly absolved ourselves from any qualms of conscience that may have arisen from our failing to grasp their meaning. Now, however, all that is changed. Henceforth the entire Psalter will be read every week; and though I do not pose as an authority on things spiritual, nor dare impose obligations other than those recognised by sound theologians, I will say that the very best means to recite the Breviary piously and profitably is to make the Psalmist´s sentiments our own. Listen to the voice of the Supreme Pastor as he addresses us in that beautiful Constitution, "Divino Afflatu": - Etenim, quem non moveant frequentes illi Psalmorum loci, in quibus de immensa maiestate Dei, de omnipotentia, de inenarrabili iustitia aut bonitate aut elementia de ceterisque infinitis laudibus eius tam alte praedicatui? Cui non similes sensus inspirent illae pro acceptis a Deo benenciis gratiarum actiones, aut pro expectatis humiles ndentesque preces, aut illi de peccatis clamores poenitentis animae? Ouem non admirationem psaltes perfundant, cum divinae benignitatis munera in populum Israel atque in omne hominum genus profecta narrat, cumque caelestis sapientiae dogmata tradit? Quem denique non amore inflammet adumbrata studiose imago Christi Redemptoris, cuius quidem Augustinus vocem in omnibus Psalmis vel psallentem, vel gementem, vel laetantem in spe, vel suspirantem in re audiebat?
